MISSOURI TURKEY DAY!!!!!


We're still pinching ourselves, we can't believe we are finally here!!!  

Today was a beautiful warm sunny day, we cooked up a storm, turkey/ham and all the fixin's. 
 The kids were here along with our new grand daughter, got the 4 generation pics to boot!!!
 We pulled out the cherry table grandpa built years ago and finally had our dinner on it!!!



And it's official, I have Missouri license plates on my little car!!! 
 Now, back for the drivers license.

The dogs are enjoying their new yard, Cody and Abbey are doing well laying around the front yard without leashes but Dakota, never can trust him.  Even with his legs and diabetes he will do his best to run off.  The deer have disappeared for a few days, we have upwards or 7-8 deer hanging around here most everyday, tons of acorns to munch on.  I thought the dogs would scare them off but they don't seem to care, they come right near the cars and us.

Black Friday will not see us at the big box stores, I am going to do my best to buy American, homemade,handmade, recycled, etc for the holiday season.  I plan to visit a store that carries handmade in Missouri items tomorrow.

I can't say we don't miss Wisconsin because we do, we just hope everyone can come see us and we will be back to visit!!!!!

                                 Have a wonderful Holiday Weekend!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!! WE ARE HERE!!!! MISSOURIANS!!!!??

November 18th we had the last of 18 years worth of stuff packed and loaded in a 20 foot U-Haul truck and headed south!!!!  It was a very sad and exciting day, I never thought I would ever really leave Wisconsin, after all I arrived 30 years ago for 30 days and look what happened!!!!!  I must say it has been a wonderful 30+ years with many, many good friends, neighbors, customers and people passing thru!!!  I can't thank you all enough!!!!! 
 Each and everyone of you have brought something special to my life,
 THANK YOU!!!!!

Well, as some of you know we had our first granddaughter  Saturday Nov. 5, she is a doll and here are a few pics I took.  The professional photos are on their way!!!  She is so cute and sweet, not much fussing and just a joy to "baby watch"!!!  Her name is Devin Marie Krokson, 6lbs. 8 ozs. 20" long!!!  She is now 6lbs. 10 ozs 2 weeks later!!!   And the clothes are just the best, Melissa got some of the cutest outfits, all the girls have great taste!!!!

And now the real work begins, where do we put it all!!! 
 Already went to Lowes for storage and shelves, Dave got them up and it's only a small dent.
 We really thought we had cleared the decked but we were wrong, lots to do!!!

                                Hey everyone, have a HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!
